FOREWORD

One of the most fundamental concerns in planning for vocationaland technical education facilities is that of assuring that educa-tional requirements dictate the nature of the facilities. Otherconcerns include planning a sufficiently adaptable and flexiblestructure to permit needed modifications and programmatic changesover the lifetime of the building. Experiences have shown thatadequate manuals and guide materials can provide substantialassistance in planning educational facilities. This document is aguide for planning facilities for occupational preparation programsfor medical X-ray technicians. The information recorded in theguide is to be used in the preparation of educational specifications.

The guide lists a series of pivotal questions about the educa-tional program to be offered. The answers to these programquestions bear directly on the numbers and kinds of instructionalareas needed in the cmtemplated facilities. After programdecisions are recordea, the guide provides for the description ofinstructional areas needed to mee: program requirements. Much ofthe material is presented in a checklist format which allows forconsideration of alternatives in facility planning.

The guide was designed for use by any person or groups ofpersons responsible for planning medical X-ray technology facilities.It is anticipated that knowledgeable persons such as medical X-raytechnology instructors, state supervisors, university school plantplanners, and local administrators will find the guide a usefulplanning tocl. The guide can also be used for instructionalpurposes at universities, colleges, seminars, and institutes.

This guide is the ninth in a series being developed by TheCenter. Subsequent guides will be published for dental technology.The first eight guides developed were in the fields of homeeconomics, machine trades, data processing, business and officeoccupations, laboratory animal science, electrical technology,automotive services, and metallurgy. All guides follow the generalformat developed by The Center project staff and M. J. Conrad,head, Administration and Facilities Unit, College of Education,The Ohio State University. Vocational educators should also referto A Guide to Systematic Planning for Vocational and TechnicalSchools.

The Center for Vocational and Technical Education, The OhioState University, worked cooperatively with James D. MacConnell,Frank Brunetti, Joseph Hannon, Edwin Rios, and Clarke Schiller atthe School Planning Laboratory, School of Education, StanfordUniversity, in preparing this planning guide. Center projectstaff members were Richard F. Meckley, Ivan E. Valentine, and ZaneMcCoy.

The Center is grateful to the many individuals and groups whoseassistance and suggestions led to the successful conclusion of the

project.Robert E. Taylor, DirectorThe Center for Vocationaland Technical Education

INTRODUCTION

PURPOSE OF GUIDE

The major purpose of this guide is to develop the necessaryinformation for the writing of educational specifications tohouse medical X-ray technician programs.

In addition to the major purpose of provi-Ang important andcomprehensive information to be incorporated in educationalspecifications, the guide is also designed to:

Assist planners in the formation of creative housingsolutions for desired educational programs.

Prevent important considerations from being overlookedin the facility planning process.

Encourage logical and systematic facility planning.

ORGANIZATION OF GUIDE

The facility planning guide is organized under four majorheadings or parts:

Part I (Introduction) is a discussion of the major purpose,the underlying assumptions, recent instructional trends, and theguiding principles.

Part II (The Instructional Program) gives important informa-tion on medical X-ray technician training objectives and the kindsof programs which will be organized to implement them.

Part III (Distinct Types of Instructional Areas to beProvided) describes in detail the actual spaces desired to housethe program.

UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS

Important assumptions were made in the preparation of thisguide. They were:

Major educational program decisions have or are being madeContent of instruction has been determined through educa-tional surveys, advisory committees, school board study,etc. Instructional methods have been determined byqualified professors, instructors and other appropriatestaff members. To assure adequate educational programplanning the guide will ask important questions which mayserve as guidelines to such planning.

A cooperative and collaborative relationship has beenestablished with knowledgeable local agencies who areaware of economic, political, and social conditions whichmust be taken into account in short- and long-rangeeducational planning.

Educational, economic, political, and social planning hasrevealed the approximate numbers and kinds of students(school-age and adult) to be served by the proposed school.Such information has been provided by enrollment projections,census tract data, student interest studies, etc.

The information recorded in this document will be used inthe preparation of educational specifications for use byan architect(s) in facility design.

Sufficient funds are or can be made available to supportboth the provision of facilities and the operation of thedesired occupational preparation programs.

RECENT INSTRUCTIONAL TRENDS

Expanded programs to reach not only the average and thosewho are college bound, but also the unusually gifted, thephysically handicapped, the mentally retarded, and theculturally disadvantaged are needed and being provided byoccupational preparation programs.

Cooperation among instructors in developing interdisci-plinary units or courses is increasing. Cooperativeinstruction is encouraged and facilitated by the proximityof instructional and work areas where the teachers canplan together and produce instructional materials.

Mobile equipment and convenient space for storing it ismaking the same space available for many purposes and.resulting in more effective and efficient use of space.

,Mechanical and electrOnic.teaching aids are.being utilizedto a greater degree by instructors in occupational prepara-tion programs. To some extent, the effective use of such

devices depends upon the accessibility and convenience ofstorage.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

In planning facilities to house occupational preparationprograms, it is suggeL ed that educational program and facilitydecisions be consistent with the following guiding principles.

The educational program is the basis for planning spaceand facilities.

Space and facilities should be planned to accommodate-hanges in the educational program.

The program should be planned to serve the needs of avariety of groups in the community.

Space and facilities for the program can be extendedthrough the use of community resources.

Safe and healthful housing must be provided for allstudents.

Space and facilities for occupational preparation programsshould be considered in context with the total educationalprogram of the institution and the community.

PART II

THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM

In Part II f the guide, important instructional programdecisions with respect to basic program features, objectives, andneeded information on occupational preparation programs to behoused are reccrded.

BASIC PPOGRAM FEATURES

Basic features of the educational program are determinedgreatly by a school or department's educational philosophy. Aphilosophy of education provides a base from which programobjectives and teaching and learning activities designed to meetthese objectives can be derived. In the final analysis, it isthe kinds of teaching and learning activities to be carried onwhich should determine facility needs.

In this section, planners have an opportunity to expressbasic program features which will serve as guidelines for theplanned occupational preparation programs for X-ray technicians.

Indicate below the relative degree of emphasis to be placedon each of the program features stated by circling the appropriatenumber. The scale provided for this purpose ranges from 1 formajor emphasis, 2 for some emphasis, 3 for slight emphasis, to Nfot no emphasis. This same scale will be used frequently through-out the planning guide.

Educational objectives are often identified as goals oroutcomes of the educational program. An objective should describea desired educational outcome that is consistent with a school'sphilosophy.

Objectives are important to both the planner and the architectsince they determine the school's program and related activities.They provide important implications which, when translated intofacilities, can enhance the desired program. Thus it becomesimperative to clearly establish the program objectives prior toembarking on educational specifications and building design.

The purpose of this part of the guide is to bring togetherelements in a way as to provide direction and understanding forthe planner and the architect.

PROGRAM CONTENT AREAS

This guide is designed to assist in the planning of facilitiesfor an occupational preparation program for medical X-raytechnicians.

In addition to professional training, the courses or unitsemphasize acquisition of knowledge and the development of under-standing, attitudes, and skills relevant to personal, home, andfamily life.

In occupational preparation, the courses or units emphasizethe student's acquisition of knowledge and the development ofunderstandings, attitudes, and skills relevant to occupationalpreparation. Learning activities and experiences are organizedto enable students to develop competencies essential for entryinto occupations, to further training, or to acquire new oradditional competencies for upgrading their job entry level.

Instruction is usually given in discrete subject areas orcourses. Subject matter is coordinated with appropriate field,laboratory, and work experience. Programs of occupationalprk.Taration for the most part, can be classified under the fourheadings: 1) scientific; 2) general; 3) laboratory and 4) clinical.

These four content areas relate directly to the professionalfield of service and can be used to categorize most occupationalpreparation programs. However, students in these programs oftenelect or are required to take courses in subje:.ts sucn as English,mathematics, and physical education. For example, a student intraining to become a medical X-ray technician might take thefollowing courses or units:

PLANNING INSTRUCTIONAL AREAS BY MODES OF LEARNING

The planning of instructional areas for occupationalpreparation facilities can be substantially aided through utili-zation of the concept of modes of learning. Learning can bedivided into three distinct modes--reaction learning, interactionlearning, and action learning

Reaction learning usually occurs in an instructional areadesigned for lecture and demonstration and is characterized byactivities which tend to be largely teacher-centered with thecentral focus on lecturing. Student activities include listening,observing, and the taking of notes. Group size may vary from oneto a hundred. The number of students has little effect on thelearning experience if proper technological aids such as television,microphones, projectors and the like are used. Student activitiesare relatively passive in reaction learning.

Lecture/demonstration areas can be used commonly for reactionlearning in all subject areas. For example, in planning facilitiesfor diverse occupational preparation programs: e.g., medicalsecretary and medical assistant training, the planner should bearin mind that reaction learning for students in both programs canoccur in the same kind of space. This means that facility planningshould be done in terms of the total program rather than itsfractional parts. In many instances, lecture/demonstration areascan be shared. Where a great deal of facility sharing is expectedthe planner should consider the relative merits of optimum locationwithin the building and the advisability of clustering variousinstructional areas.

Interaction learning usually occurs in a seminar instructionalarea and is characterized by both teacher and IFEFEFF participatingas both listener and speaker. This mode of learning, of course,must occur in groups; however, sociological research suggeststhese groups should not exceed 15 to 18 persons for optimaleffectiveness. Active interaction of all students generallyrequires a longer time span than reaction learning.

Seminar areas, like lecture/demonstration areas, are usuallydesigned for common use by all vocational service areas. The sameconsiderations which were outlined for lecture/demonstration areasalso apply to seminar areas.

Action learning which usually occurs in a laboratoryinstructIonal area allows the individual student to learn by doing.Students learn on an individual basis, but may function in a groupsetting. In more flexible types of educational programs, studentsare scheduled for laboratory work on an individual basis. Sinceaction learning involves overt action by individual students, theteacher's role is largely that of a consultant to the learner.

12

Page 17: The major purpose of this guide is to develop the ... · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 028 283 08 VT 008 055 By-Macconnell, James D.; And Others A Guide for Planning Facilities for Occupational

Laboratory areas are more specialized than lecture/demonrtra-tion areas used for reaction learning and seminar areas used forinteraction learning. Since laboratory areas are designed tofacilitate the learning of specific skills, there is lesslikelihood of sharing such areas by student3 in various vocationaltraining programs. Wherever common elements of skill instructionare found among training programs, the possibility of sharing andclustering laboratory spaces can be both expedient and economical.

SPECIALIZED AND MULTI-USE OF INSTRUCTIONAL AREASThe relative amounts of time to be spent by students in a

given vocational program in reaction, interaction, and actionlearning has definite implications for the number and kind ofspaces to be provided. These time considerations combined withdecisions on the degree of specialization versus multi-use helpdetermine the nature of facilities required. Since most vocationalprograms have concentrated on action learning experiences, facilitiesdesigned for a particular vocational program have seldom providedadequate reaction and interaction facilities because of the limitedutilization of such spaces. However, if the learning activities inany vocational program are broken down into the modes of learning,it will be noted that reaction and interaction spaces are the sameregardless of the vocational area. Therefore, by providing commonreaction and interaction spaces for all vocational programs, the

most modern technological aids can be justified which, in mostcases, will permit lectures, demonstrations and other group reactionlearning experiences for groups larger than typically used invocational education programs. Not only will group reactionlearning be improved but more time will become available for theprofessional staff to work with individuals and small groups ininteraction and action learning activities.

Scheduling group reaction and interaction learning experiencesinto specialized facilities permits complete flexibility in the useof action learning laboratories on an open individualized basissince students would no longer need to be scheduled into the actionlearning laboratories on a spacific class basis. This will permit100 percent room utilization of the action learning laboratoriesand also permit the introduction of differentiated staff assignmentsinto vocational education.

The open laboratory concept also permits the planned sharing

of' certain specialized equipment which may be required by two or

more vocational programs.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS OF THE GUIDE (PAGES 14-33) WILLASSIST THE PLANNER IN MAKING MATHEMATICAL DETERMINATIONS OF THENUMBER OF INSTRUCTIONAL AREAS NEEDED TO HOUSE THE DESIRED PROGRAM.IF THE NUMBER OF INSTRUCTIONAL AREAS REQUIRED ARE ALREADY KNOWN,THE PLANNER MAY NOW PROCEED TO FORM E PAGE 34. IF, HOWEVER,MATHEMATICAL DETERMINATIONS ARE TO BE MADE, ALL FORMS SHOULD BECOMPLETED AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE.

l'ART IllDISTINCT TYPES OF INSTRUCTIONAL

AREAS TO BE PROVIDED

QUANTITATIVE FACILITY NEEDS

The number of instructional areas to house the programsdescribed in Part II (The Instructional Program) are recorded inthis section of the guide.

As indicated in Part II, there are three principal types ofinstructional areas used to accommodate educational programs.They are:

Lecture/demonstration areas--used principally for groupreaction learning.

Seminar areas--used principally for group interactionlearning.

Laboratory areas--used principally for group orindividual action learning.

In addition to these instructional areas, there are, ofcourse, other school-wide auxiliary areas such as instructionalmaterials centers, language laboratories, gymnasiums, andauditoriums which are part of the overall school plan. Require-ments for such facilities are calculated as a part of total schoolplanning and are not made in this guide.

Forms B, C, and D can be used to compute the number oflecture/demonstration, seminar, and laboratory areas required forthe medical X-ray technician program.

Results of the computations on Forms B, C, and D are enteredon Form E which is a summary of total instructional area require-ments for the medical X-ray technician program.

Page 26: The major purpose of this guide is to develop the ... · DOCUMENT RESUME ED 028 283 08 VT 008 055 By-Macconnell, James D.; And Others A Guide for Planning Facilities for Occupational

In the event that instructional area requirements arealready determined (e.g., it has been decided that one combinationlaboratory and lecture/demonstration area will be provided) theinformation can be recorded directly on Form E without making thecomputations on Forms B, C, and D.

After the number of instructional areas are determined onForm E, information can then be recorded in the following sectionof the guide concerning the nature of these spaces.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

GENERAL FACILITY PLANNING

American Association of School Administrators. Planning America'sSchool Buildings. Washington, D.C.: The Association, 1960.

Contributors to this publication were teachers, supervisors,administrators, architects, engineers, school board members,and school plant planning specialists. In addition to back-ground material on school house construction, the book dealswith specific topics including school surveys, analysis andcomputation of space and facility needs, enrollment projec-tions, building designs, site selection, finance, and buildingmaintenance and operation. Many pictures and illustrationsare found, along with sample forms and outlines, which can beused in the facility planning process. No special considera-tion is given to unique problems faced in the planning forvocational and technical education facilities.

Boles, Harold W. Step by Step to Better School Facilities. NewYork: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1965.

A textbook on overall planning procedures for new and improvedschool facilities. The typical topics (school surveys, build-ing plannii,g, site selection and acquisition, architecturalplanning, contracting for construction, and the equipping andfurnishing of buildings) are covered. The only mention ofvocational schools is on page 270 where the author quotesfrom another source:

Vocational training should be de-emphasized in theschools since this training often becomes obsoletebefore it can be used; also, special "trade" andn vocational" schools should be discontinued, unlessthe vocational curriculum is liberal in approachand broad in character. Such schools are often usedas dumping grounds for students who are not wantedelsewhere and often no more than custodial care isprovided for them. When more is provided, the skillstaught are frequently too partial in nature.
